Its around a 20 years old design its parent engine the RD-170 is around 30+years old that was the liquid booster for the Energia carrier, the RD-180 is a cut in half upgraded version of that, the US. tried to copy it Russia sent them the blueprints and the metallurgy but they have failed, so they have just ordered another batch of 60 RD-180’s worth $3billion and signed the contract for the new RD-181 for the Antares, meanwhile ESA started to use the Soyuz 2 at French Guyana.
Anyways, its good to know that people especially former military dont want to see Russians in a bodybag like a US. General Ret. stated a few days ago on TV.
Im Hungarian born and raised in Hungary and I dont hate the Russians, its the exact opposite, I know they have done things in the past but wich country hasnt, I could also hate Germany or the US. but I dont, I see Russia as a strong independent nation with rich history and proud people whom have saved Europe from the nazis probably the whole planet, but the satanic globalists want to bring them down just like the US. and the EU even at the cost of WWIII so that they can take global controll over the planet and every lifeform on it, aka full spectrum dominance.
Good luck to you guys taking back your country you will need it.

They are known for the high performance and reliability in their also 30-40 year old design RD 180 motors.

I do not think the Minuteman tests are directly linked to the Ukraine and Russia where I also have friends.

As a retired military officer who spent much of his life preparing for war with Russia and also much of his life working with Russia, I think the expansion of NATO after the WTO was dissolved was a tragic error.

We also face the same enemy, those who follow Mohamed and want to act like him.

Russia unlike Mexico, Spain, France, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, N Korea, N Vietnam, the armies of Islam and others sent their military forces to kill us.

They sold us Alaska and paid the heaviest payments in blood against Hitler.
